Memories & Candles

I'm sorry for your loss and the lateness of this message as I just found out of Mrs. Bennett's passing. She and Mr. Bennett lived across the street from my family in the late 60's to early 70's. I remember their red chevy convertible and her cats Spook and Speck. My parents thought the world of her.

Kenneth and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Pat. I have wonderful memories of the many genealogy research trip to Salt Lake City, Mississippi and other places. I also enjoyed working with her on the Arkansas Genealogical Society Board in years past. She was a delightful, fun lady and a real genius at tracing her family history. I learned so much from Pat and appreciated her friendship.
My sympathy to you all,
Lynda Suffridge

We were so sorry to hear of Pat's death. Our hearts are saddened for you all. There were lots of fun times when we lived next door on Dyson and our boys were in your house almost as much as they were their own!! Pat was a dear friend to us all. She was a great next door neighbor! May your memories be of great comfort during this very difficult time.

we will always miss you especially at and during deer season. your good cooking and your happy smile. i also will miss our phone calls, trips on the bus to tunica and our AMA meetings in Hot springs

Dear Bennett Family,
Was saddened to read of Pat's passing.
My memories are from the high school days and what a lady, friend and sweetheart she was. It seems obvious that she brought much grace and goodness to your family life and traditions.
May God's blessings and peace continue to be with you!

Dear Bennett Family, We have so many great memories to share from Lake Ouachita camping trips. Pat was fun to visit with & made those trips so memorable. We send prayers of peace & comfort your way. We know God is wrapping his arms around you at this time. Remember we love you.

KB, Mark and Gary,
I was shocked and saddened to hear about your great loss. As y'all know, Mrs. Pat and KB treated me like another son when we were growing up. In fact, I just told the story a couple of weeks ago about how I didn't even have to knock when I came inside your house through the garage door every day after school. To this day, my strongest memories are of the countless great times I had in

KB, Mark and Gary,
I was shocked and saddened to hear about your great loss. As y'all know, Mrs. Pat and KB treated me like another son when we were growing up. In fact, I just told the story a couple of weeks ago about how I didn't even have to knock when I came inside your house through the garage door every day after school. To this day, my strongest memories are of the countless great times I had in and around your house and with your family. I often find myself going out of my way to drive down Dyson and your old house, just to take a quick trip down memory lane. A lot of time has passed, but in many ways, it still seems like yesterday that we were playing football in your front yard, fetching plastic golf balls for KB after he hit them from the backyard to the front, or climbing around on your roof. I'm so thankful to have grown up with your family, and Mrs. Pat was the glue that held it all together. I picture her smiling now, holding a purring Kitty Cuttles in her arms. My prayers are with you all. May the peace of God surround and comfort you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. "Miss Lape" as we knew her then was one of my all time favorite teachers. She helped instill a love for history in me. I still have the Social Studies award she gave me in the Carlisle High School awards assembly. I remember her as a sweet and caring person.
